Aldershot, England ; Burlington, VT: Ashgate/Variorum, 2006 xxxix, 422 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary: "This is the 10th volume in the Pacific World series, which is dedicated to bringing attention to the important, but often ignored, trans- and intra-Pacific interactions that have developed since the 16th century. Organized around the subjects of Japanese views of the Pacific, diplomatic and economic relations, and expansion and diaspora, the essays in this volume describe the dramatic opening of Japan to the larger world and the consequent, and equally dramatic, changes in the Japanese economy and society. Individual papers cover such topics as maps and metaphors of the "small eastern sea" in Tokugawa Japan; early Russo-Japanese relations; the journal of the Iwakura embassy; and Japanese prostitutes in 19th-century America."
